Brio, Barcelona's hidden Green Oasis
01/2023 -Andrea Rey Acevedo
Rumour has it that Gràcia is the perfect neighbourhood to discover Barcelona. So, if you're planning that dreamed Spanish getaway, look no further. Brio has been declared Barcelona's gem stay— one foot out, and you'll be immersed in the city's vibrant life, the hustle and bustle. Right at the north end of the Passeig the Gràcia, you'll be in one of the grandest avenues in the world. Take a walk across expensive shops, elegant buildings, and luscious trees. If you're in the mood for something more relaxed and local, the narrow streets of Grácia are full of countless bars, restaurants, and boutiques.
One foot in, and you'll be relaxing in a hidden green oasis. Designed with soft lighting and warm wood tones, from the moment you enter Brio, you can feel the stress leaving your body. A relaxing, green communal patio awaits you to unwind after a long day of sangría, tapas, and paella. You will have no worries left in your mind with our comfy beds, modern bathrooms, and an entirely digital experience.
PASSEIG DE GRÀCIA: THE BONE OF CONTENTION
Oh, the famous Passeig de Gràcia! For centuries it has been a place of luxury and wealth. Before Ildefons Cerdà developed it as the charming avenue that it is today, the road was named "el Camino de Jesús" (the path of Jesus). As the Passeig de Gràcia came into its luxurious splendour, most of Barcelona's wealthiest citizens of the 20th century dreamed of building their homes in this "Quadrat d'Or.'
In dreams of luxe and fancy pants, the street became one of the most iconic places for Modernist architecture, with four distinctive buildings by some of the most influential architects of the time, including Gaudí's Casa Batlló and Casa Milà, Puig i Cadafalch's Casa Amatller, and Domènech i Montaner's Casa Lleó Morera. It was nearly impossible to decide which of these dazzling architectural gems was the most unique and beautiful. Locals came to call it "La Manzana de la Discordia" or "The Bone of Contention."
